DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Exemplary embodiments are described more comprehensively with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the exemplary embodiments can be implemented in various forms, and should not be understood as being limited to the examples set forth herein. On the contrary, these embodiments are provided to make the present disclosure more comprehensive and complete, and to fully convey the concept of the exemplary embodiments to those skilled in the art. The described features, structures or characteristics may be combined in one or more embodiments in any appropriate way. In the following descriptions, many specific details are provided to provide a sufficient understanding of the embodiments of the present disclosure.

In the figures, thicknesses of regions and layers may be exaggerated for clarity. The same reference signs in the figures denote the same or similar structures, and thus their detailed descriptions are omitted.

The described features, structures or characteristics may be combined in one or more embodiments in any appropriate way. In the following descriptions, many specific details are provided to give a sufficient understanding of the embodiments of the present disclosure. However, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the technical solutions of the present disclosure may be practiced without one or more of the specific details, or other methods, components, materials, and the like may be adopted. In other cases, well-known structures, materials, or operations are not shown or described in detail to avoid obscuring main technical ideas of the present disclosure.

When a certain structure is “on” the other structure, the certain structure may be integrally formed on the other structure, or the certain structure is “directly” disposed on the other structure, or the certain structure is “indirectly” disposed on the other structure through another structure.

The terms “a/an”, “one”, and “the” are used to indicate the presence of one or more elements/components/etc.; the terms “include”, “comprise”, and “have” are used to indicate open inclusion and mean that there may be other elements/components/etc., in addition to the listed elements/components/etc. The terms “first” and “second”, etc., are only used as markers instead of a restriction on the number of objects.

In the related art, the liquid crystal display panel may include a first electrode layer, an insulating dielectric layer, a second electrode layer, and a liquid crystal layer which are sequentially laminated on one side of a base substrate. In any pixel region, one of the first electrode layer and the second electrode layer may be provided as a slit electrode, and the other may be provided as a plate electrode. A fringe electric field is generated between the slit electrode and the plate electrode, and the fringe electric field is configured to drive negative liquid crystal in the liquid crystal layer to fall, thereby controlling light emission of the liquid crystal display panel in the pixel region.

As shown in FIG. 1 , in the related art, the slit electrode 300 may be of a double domain structure, that is, the slit electrode 300 includes first strip-shaped sub-electrodes 340 and second strip-shaped sub-electrodes 350. One side of the slit electrode 300 may be in an open state and the other side may be in a closed state. The distance between two adjacent first strip-shaped sub-electrodes 340 and the distance between two adjacent second strip-shaped sub-electrodes 350 are equal along an extending direction from the closed side to the open side. Exemplarily, in FIG. 1 , the size d1′, the size d2′, and the size d3′ are the same, and the size d4′, the size d5′, and the size d6′ are the same.

Referring to FIG. 1 , the liquid crystal display panel may further include data leads 202 located on both sides of the slit electrode 300. Due to voltages on the data lead 202, an electric field may be formed between the data lead and the slit electrode 300, thereby affecting the falling state of the liquid crystal in the liquid crystal layer. The electric fields formed by the data leads 202 on both sides of the slit electrode 300 cause the liquid crystal to fall in conflicting directions. Therefore, part of the liquid crystal in a central region of the slit electrode 300 does not fall and remains a vertical state. Such part of non-falling liquid crystal is not able to change the polarization state of incident polarized light, resulting in the formation of dark lines in this region, that is, the phenomenon of disclination.

The present disclosure provides an array substrate. Referring to FIG. 2 , the array substrate 01 includes a base substrate 101, a first electrode layer 102, an insulating dielectric layer 107, and a second electrode layer 106 which are laminated in sequence. Referring to FIG. 3 , the array substrate further includes a plurality of data leads 202. One of the first electrode layer 102 and the second electrode layer 106 includes at least one slit electrode 300.

The slit electrode 300 is disposed between two adjacent data leads 202, and includes an electrode connecting portion 301 and a plurality of first strip-shaped sub-electrodes 340 arranged in sequence. One end of each first strip-shaped sub-electrode 340 is connected to the electrode connecting portion 301. The electrode connecting portion 301 includes a first connecting section 310 parallel to and adjacent to the data lead 202. The plurality of first strip-shaped sub-electrodes 340 are disposed on the same side of the first connecting section 310. The distance between two adjacent first strip-shaped sub-electrodes 340 in a direction parallel to the extending direction A of the first connecting section 310 gradually increases in a direction going away from the first connecting section 310.

In the array substrate according to the present disclosure, the data leads 202 are disposed on both sides of the slit electrode 300, an electric field is generated between the data lead 202 and the slit electrode 300, and the electric field can affect the inversion of liquid crystal molecules in the liquid crystal display panel.

The extending direction of the first connecting section 310 is parallel to the adjacent data lead 202, and the side of the slit electrode 300 close to the first connecting section 310 is in a closed state. Thus, the electric field between the side of the slit electrode 300 close to the first connecting section 310 and the data lead 202 has a high intensity. In addition, the side of the slit electrode 300 away from the first connecting section 310 is in an open state. Thus, the electric field between the side of the slit electrode 300 away from the first connecting section 310 and the data lead 202 has a low intensity.

Furthermore, in the array substrate according to the present disclosure, the distance between the first strip-shaped sub-electrodes 340 is larger on the side away from the first connecting section 310, which can further reduce the intensity of the electric field between the side of the slit electrode 300 away from the first connecting section 310 and the data lead 202. Therefore, in the present disclosure, the distance between the first strip-shaped sub-electrodes 340 gradually changes, so that the difference in the intensities of the electric fields between two sides of the slit electrode 300 and the data leads 202 increases, thereby reducing or eliminating disclination, and improving a light-emitting efficiency of the display panel adopting the array substrate.

Hereinafter, the structure, principle, and effect of the array substrate according to the present disclosure are further explained and described in combination with the accompanying drawings.

Referring to FIG. 2 , FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 , the array substrate includes the first electrode layer 102 and the second electrode layer 106. The first electrode layer 102 includes a first electrode 1081, and the second electrode layer 106 includes a second electrode 1082 corresponding to the first electrode 1081.

In terms of the shape of the electrodes, one of the first electrode 1081 and the second electrode 1082 is a slit electrode 300, and the other is a plate electrode. That is, one of the first electrode layer 102 and the second electrode layer 106 may include the slit electrode 300, and the other may include the plate electrode disposed corresponding to the slit electrode 300. In the slit electrode 300 and the plate electrode which are correspondingly disposed, the orthographic projection of the slit electrode 300 on the base substrate 101 and the orthographic projection of the plate electrode on the base substrate 101 are at least partially overlapped. In terms of the function of the electrodes, one of the first electrode 1081 and the second electrode 1082 may be a common electrode, and the other may be a pixel electrode. In other words, one of the first electrode layer 102 and the second electrode layer 106 may include the common electrode, and the other may include the pixel electrode.

Optionally, referring to FIG. 6 and FIG. 7 , in the extending direction of the first strip-shaped sub-electrode 340, the width of the first strip-shaped sub-electrode 340 may not change. In other words, the first auxiliary design line 3404, the second auxiliary design line 3405 and the axial line 3401 of the first strip-shaped sub-electrode 340 are parallel to each other. In this way, the design and preparation of the first strip-shaped sub-electrode 340 is facilitated.

In the present disclosure, in two adjacent first strip-shaped sub-electrodes 340, the difference value between the inclination angle of the first strip-shaped sub-electrode 340 close to the first end 3101 and the inclination angle of the other first strip-shaped sub-electrode 340 close to the second end 3102 is a gradual angle between the two adjacent first strip-shaped sub-electrodes 340. Optionally, in one slit electrode 300, the value of the gradual angle between two adjacent first strip-shaped sub-electrodes 340 ranges from 1° to 3°. In other words, in two adjacent first strip-shaped sub-electrodes 340, the inclination angle of the first strip-shaped sub-electrode 340 close to the second end is smaller than the inclination angle of the other first strip-shaped sub-electrode 340 close to the first end by 1° to 3°. Further, in two adjacent first strip-shaped sub-electrodes 340, the inclination angle of the first strip-shaped sub-electrode 340 close to the second end is smaller than the inclination angle of the other first strip-shaped sub-electrode 340 close to the first end by 1.5° to 2.5°.

Optionally, the gradual angle may be the same between any two adjacent first strip-shaped sub-electrodes 340. Exemplarily, referring to FIG. 12 , in three adjacent first strip-shaped sub-electrodes 340, the gradual angle between the first strip-shaped sub-electrode 340 numbered i+2 and the first strip-shaped sub-electrode 340 numbered i+1 is a, and the gradual angle between the first strip-shaped sub-electrode 340 numbered i+1 and the first strip-shaped sub-electrode 340 numbered i is a. In an implementation of the present disclosure, the gradual angle between any two adjacent first strip-shaped sub-electrodes 340 is 2°. In another implementation of the present disclosure, the gradual angle between any two adjacent first strip-shaped sub-electrodes 340 is 1°

Optionally, in an implementation, referring to FIG. 6 , in one slit electrode 300, the distance between the first design reference points 3406 of any two adjacent first strip-shaped sub-electrodes 340 is equal. Further, the distance between the second design reference points 3407 of any two adjacent first strip-shaped sub-electrodes 340 is equal, which can simplify the design of the slit electrode 300 and the design and preparation of a mask. In addition, it is also ensured that the distance between the first strip-shaped sub-electrodes 340 in the direction going away from the first connecting section 310 has a small difference in the speed of change, which may improve the uniformity of light-emission of pixels corresponding to the slit electrode 300.

Optionally, in another implementation, referring to FIG. 7 , in one slit electrode 300, the first design reference points 3406 of the plurality of first strip-shaped sub-electrodes 340 connected to the first connecting section 310 are disposed at equal distance. In one slit electrode 300, in the plurality of first strip-shaped sub-electrodes 340 connected to the second connecting section 320, the distance between the first design reference points 3406 of two adjacent first strip-shaped sub-electrodes 340 decreases sequentially along the direction going away from the first end 3101 of the first connecting section 310. Furthermore, in one slit electrode 300, in the plurality of first strip-shaped sub-electrodes 340 connected to the second connecting section 320, the distance between the third design reference points 3408 of two adjacent first strip-shaped sub-electrodes 340 is the same. In this way, on the auxiliary design line 323 of the second connecting section 320, the plurality of first strip-shaped sub-electrodes 340 connected to the second connecting section 320 are disposed at equal distance, so that the design of the slit electrode 300 can also be simplified.

Optionally, in an implementation, referring to FIG. 6 and FIG. 7 , in one slit electrode 300, the first auxiliary design line 3404 and the second auxiliary design line 3405 of any one first strip-shaped sub-electrode 340 are disposed in parallel, so that the width of the first strip-shaped sub-electrode 340 does not change with the change of the extending direction thereof. In this way, the width of the first strip-shaped sub-electrode 340 does not change with the extension thereof, which can simplify the design and preparation of the first strip-shaped sub-electrode 340. Furthermore, the widths of the plurality of first strip-shaped sub-electrodes 340 are the same. In other words, the widths of the plurality of first strip-shaped sub-electrodes 340 are the same, but inclination angles thereof are different, so that the distance between two adjacent first strip-shaped sub-electrodes 340 in the direction parallel to the extending direction A of the first connecting section 310 gradually increases along the direction going away from the first connecting section 310.

In some other implementations, referring to FIG. 9 , FIG. 10 , and FIG. 11 , in the direction going away from the first connecting section 310, the width of the first strip-shaped sub-electrode 340 gradually decreases. The distance between two adjacent first strip-shaped sub-electrodes 340 in the direction parallel to the extending direction A of the first connecting section 310 gradually increases along the direction going away from the first connecting section 310. In this way, according to the first domain structure of the slit electrode 300, the first strip-shaped sub-electrode 340 can be gradually narrowed along the direction going away from the first connecting section 310 by adjusting the width of the first strip-shaped sub-electrode 340, such that the distance between the first strip-shaped sub-electrodes 340 gradually increases along the direction going away from the first connecting section 310. The first strip-shaped sub-electrode 340 may be designed in a variety of different ways, so as to adjust the width of the first strip-shaped sub-electrode 340.

Optionally, referring to FIG. 9 , FIG. 10 , and FIG. 11 , in one slit electrode 300, the first edges 3402 of the first strip-shaped sub-electrodes 340 are parallel to each other, or the second edges 3403 of the first strip-shaped sub-electrodes 340 are parallel to each other, or the axial lines 3401 of the first strip-shaped sub-electrodes 340 are parallel, which facilitates the design and preparation of the first strip-shaped sub-electrodes 340.

Optionally, referring to FIG. 10 and FIG. 11 , in the plurality of first strip-shaped sub-electrodes 340 connected to the first connecting section 310, the distance between the first design reference points 3406 of any two adjacent first strip-shaped sub-electrodes 340 is equal.

Optionally, referring to FIG. 10 and FIG. 11 , in one slit electrode 300, the first design reference sizes of at least part of the first strip-shaped sub-electrodes 340 are the same. Exemplarily, in one slit electrode 300, the distance between the first design reference points 3406 of any two adjacent first strip-shaped sub-electrodes 340 is equal. Further, referring to FIG. 10 , the first design reference sizes of respective first strip-shaped sub-electrodes 340 are the same.

In another example, in one slit electrode 300, referring to FIG. 11 , in the plurality of first strip-shaped sub-electrodes 340 connected to the first connecting section 310, the distance between the first design reference points 3406 of any two adjacent first strip-shaped sub-electrodes 340 is equal, and the first design reference sizes of the first strip-shaped sub-electrodes 340 are the same. In the plurality of first strip-shaped sub-electrodes 340 connected to the second connecting section 320, the distance between the third design reference points 3408 of any two adjacent first strip-shaped sub-electrodes 340 is equal, and the second design reference sizes of the first strip-shaped sub-electrodes 340 are the same.

In an implementation of the present disclosure, referring to FIG. 10 , the first design reference points 3406 of the first strip-shaped sub-electrodes 340 are at equal distance, the first design reference sizes of the first strip-shaped sub-electrodes 340 are the same, the axial lines 3401 of the first strip-shaped sub-electrodes 340 are parallel to each other, the first auxiliary design lines 3404 of the first strip-shaped sub-electrodes 340 are parallel to each other, and the second auxiliary design lines 3405 of the first strip-shaped sub-electrodes 340 are parallel to each other. In this way, it can be ensured that the distance between the first strip-shaped sub-electrodes 340 of the slit electrode 300 uniformly changes gradually along the direction going away from the first connecting section 310.

In the present disclosure, the width of the first strip-shaped sub-electrode 340 refers to the length of a line segment perpendicular to the axial line 3401 of the first strip-shaped sub-electrode 340 and connecting the first auxiliary design line 3404 and the second auxiliary design line 3405 of the first strip-shaped sub-electrode 340.

For example, referring to FIG. 8 , the width of the first strip-shaped sub-electrode 340 at the second design reference point 3407 thereof refers to the length of the first line segment C. Here, the first line segment C passes through the second design reference point 3407 of the first strip-shaped sub-electrode 340, is perpendicular to the axial line 3401 of the first strip-shaped sub-electrode 340, and connects the first auxiliary design line 3404 and the second auxiliary design line 3405 of the first strip-shaped sub-electrode 340.

For another example, the intersection point between the orthographic projection of the first auxiliary design line 3404 of the first strip-shaped sub-electrode 340 on the base substrate 101 and the orthographic projection of the virtual connecting line 360 on the base substrate 101 is a fifth design reference point 3410 of the first strip-shaped sub-electrode 340. The width of the first strip-shaped sub-electrode 340 at the fifth design reference point 3410 thereof refers to the length of the second line segment D. Here, the second line segment D passes through the fifth design reference point 3410 of the first strip-shaped sub-electrode 340, is perpendicular to the axial line 3401 of the first strip-shaped sub-electrode 340, and connect the first auxiliary design line 3404 and the second auxiliary design line 3405 of the first strip-shaped sub-electrode 340.

In a design of the slit electrode 300, a first dummy electrode in the shape of an isosceles trapezoid is drawn based on the first line segment C, the second line segment D, the first auxiliary design line 3404, and the second auxiliary design line 3405 of one first strip-shaped sub-electrode 340. Then, the first dummy electrode is duplicated at equal distance along the auxiliary design line 313 of the first connecting section 310 to acquire a plurality of first dummy electrodes in the shape of an isosceles trapezoid. Afterwards, each first dummy electrode is modified to remove the part which is not in electrode space defined by the auxiliary design line 313 of the first connecting section 310, the auxiliary design line 323 of the second connecting section 320, and the virtual connecting line 360. Certainly, if one or more first strip-shaped sub-electrodes 340 need to form a strip-shaped sub-electrode group 400 with the second strip-shaped sub-electrode 350, the part, going beyond the second strip-shaped sub-electrode 350, of the one or more first dummy electrodes is are removed. In this way, the modified first dummy electrode can serve as a design layout of the first strip-shaped sub-electrode 340.

According to the above design, in one slit electrode 300, the widths of the ends, away from the first connecting section 310, of at least part of the first strip-shaped sub-electrodes 340 are the same. For example, the first strip-shaped sub-electrodes 340 which are extendable to the virtual connecting line 360 have the same width at the fifth design reference point 3410 of the first strip-shaped sub-electrode 340.

Optionally, the width of the first strip-shaped sub-electrode 340 at the second design reference point 3407 thereof may be 0.4 to 0.8 times the width of the first strip-shaped sub-electrode 340 at the fifth design reference point 3410 thereof. Correspondingly, part of the first strip-shaped sub-electrodes 340 extend to the virtual connecting line 360 and have third edges overlapped with the virtual connecting line 360. The size of the third edge is 0.4 to 0.8 times the first design reference size of the first strip-shaped sub-electrode 340 connected to the first connecting section 310. Exemplarily, in an implementation of the present disclosure, the distance between the axial lines 3401 of two adjacent first strip-shaped sub-electrodes 340 is 6.6 micrometers, the width of the first strip-shaped sub-electrode 340 at the second design reference point 3406 thereof is 3.6 micrometers, and the width of the first strip-shaped sub-electrode 340 at the fifth design reference point 3410 thereof is 2.3 micrometers.

In another implementation of the present disclosure, referring to FIG. 11 , in one slit electrode 300, the axial lines 3401 of the first strip-shaped sub-electrodes 340 are parallel to each other. In the plurality of first strip-shaped sub-electrodes 340 connected to the first connecting section 310, the first design reference sizes of the first strip-shaped sub-electrodes 340 are the same. In the plurality of first strip-shaped sub-electrodes 340 connected to the second connecting section 320, the second design reference sizes of the first strip-shaped sub-electrodes 340 are the same. The distance between the axial lines 3401 of two adjacent first strip-shaped sub-electrodes 340 is equal.

In a design of the slit electrode 300, a second dummy electrode may be drawn at first. The second dummy electrode is rectangular and includes a first short side and a second short side which are opposite, and a first long side and a second long side which are opposite. The first short side coincides with the first line segment C; the first long side and the second long side are parallel to the axial line 3401 of the first strip-shaped sub-electrode 340, and one vertex of the second long side is the second design reference point 3407 of the first strip-shaped sub-electrode 340. The intersection point of the second short side and the virtual connecting line 360 serves as the fifth design reference point 3410 of the first strip-shaped sub-electrode 340. Then, the second dummy electrode is duplicated and arranged at equal distance along the auxiliary design line 313 of the first connecting section 310 to form a plurality of second dummy electrodes in one-to-one correspondence to the plurality of first strip-shaped sub-electrodes 340.

Each of the plurality of first strip-shaped sub-electrodes 340 connected to the first connecting section 310 may be designed by modifying the corresponding second dummy electrode as follows. The second line segment D is determined at the second short side, and the center of the second line segment D coincides with the center of the first line segment C. The first auxiliary design line 3404 of the first strip-shaped sub-electrode 340 is determined, and the first auxiliary design line 3404 of the first strip-shaped sub-electrode 340 passes through the fifth design reference point 3410 of the first strip-shaped sub-electrode 340 and passes through the endpoint, away from the second design reference point 3407 of the first strip-shaped sub-electrode 340, of the first short side. The second auxiliary design line 3405 of the first strip-shaped sub-electrode 340 is determined, and the second auxiliary design line 3405 of the first strip-shaped sub-electrode 340 passes through the endpoint, away from the fifth design reference point 3410 of the first strip-shaped sub-electrode 340, of the second line segment D, and passes through the second design reference point 3407 of the first strip-shaped sub-electrode 340. The design layout of respective first strip-shaped sub-electrodes 340 connected to the first connecting section 310 is determined based on the second design reference point 3407, the fifth design reference point 3410, the first auxiliary design line 3404 and the second auxiliary design line 3405 of the first strip-shaped sub-electrode 340, and based on the auxiliary design line 313 of the first connecting section 310 and the virtual connecting line 360.

It can be understood that when the first strip-shaped sub-electrode 340 and the second strip-shaped sub-electrode 350 form a strip-shaped sub-electrode group 400, the design layout of the first strip-shaped sub-electrode 340 may also be further correspondingly modified.

Each of the plurality of first strip-shaped sub-electrodes 340 connected to the second connecting section 320 may be designed by modifying the corresponding second dummy electrode as follows. The intersection point of the first long side of the second dummy electrode and the auxiliary design line 323 of the second connecting section 320 is taken as the third design reference point 3408 of the first strip-shaped sub-electrode 340. The intersection point of the second long side of the second dummy electrode and the auxiliary design line 323 of the second connecting section 320 is taken as the fourth design reference point 3409 of the first strip-shaped sub-electrode 340. The second line segment D is determined on the second short side, and the center of the second line segment D coincides with the center of the second short side. The first auxiliary design line 3404 of the first strip-shaped sub-electrode 340 is determined, and the first auxiliary design line 3404 of the first strip-shaped sub-electrode 340 passes through the fifth design reference point 3410 of the first strip-shaped sub-electrode 340, and passes through the third design reference point 3408 of the first strip-shaped sub-electrode 340.

The design layout of respective first strip-shaped sub-electrodes 340 connected to the second connecting section 320 is determined based on the first auxiliary design line 3404 and the second auxiliary design line 3405 of the first strip-shaped sub-electrode 340, the auxiliary design line 323 of the second connecting section 320 and the virtual connecting line 360.

Optionally, the value of an angle between the extending direction of the first connecting section 310 and at least one of the first edge 3402 of the first strip-shaped sub-electrode 340, the second edge 3403 of the first strip-shaped sub-electrode 340, and the axial line 3401 of the first strip-shaped sub-electrode 340 ranges from 40° to 50°. Exemplarily, the angle between the axial line 3401 of the first strip-shaped sub-electrode 340 and the extending direction of the first connecting section 310 is 45°.

In the implementation of the present disclosure, referring to FIG. 3 , FIG. 6 , FIG. 7 , FIG. 10 , and FIG. 11 , any second strip-shaped sub-electrode 350 has a first edge 3502 and a second edge 3503 which are opposite and connected to the electrode connecting portion 301, and the first edge 3502 is farther from the second end 3302 of the third connecting section 330 than the second edge 3503 is. The straight line on which an orthographic projection of the first edge 3502 of the second strip-shaped sub-electrode 350 on the base substrate 101 is located is a first auxiliary design line 3504 of the second strip-shaped sub-electrode 350. The straight line on which an orthographic projection of the second edge 3503 of the second strip-shaped sub-electrode 350 on the base substrate 101 is located is a second auxiliary design line 3505 of the second strip-shaped sub-electrode 350. The second strip-shaped sub-electrode 350 extends along the axial line direction thereof, and any point on the axial line 3501 of the second strip-shaped sub-electrode 350 is equidistant from the first auxiliary design line 3504 and the second auxiliary design line 3505 of the second strip-shaped sub-electrode 350. The angle between the extending direction of the second strip-shaped sub-electrode 350 and the extending direction of the first connecting section 310 is the inclination angle θ of the second strip-shaped sub-electrode 350, and the inclination angle θ is an acute angle.

In one slit electrode 300, the intersection point of the first auxiliary design line 3504 of the second strip-shaped sub-electrode 350 and the auxiliary design line 313 of the first connecting section 310 is a first design reference point 3506 of the second strip-shaped sub-electrode 350.

The distance between the first design reference point 3506 and the second design reference point 3507 of the second strip-shaped sub-electrode 350 is a first design reference size of the second strip-shaped sub-electrode 350.

In one slit electrode 300, referring to FIG. 3 , the third connecting section 330 has a first edge 331 and a second edge 332 which are opposite to each other. The second edge 332 is farther from the second strip-shaped sub-electrode 350 than the first edge 331 is. The straight line on which an orthographic projection of the first edge 331 of the third connecting section 330 on the base substrate 101 is located is an auxiliary design line 333 of the third connecting section 330. Further, the auxiliary design line 333 of the third connecting section 330 is parallel to the pixel row direction of the array substrate.

Referring to FIG. 6 , FIG. 7 , FIG. 10 and FIG. 11 , the intersection point of the first auxiliary design line 3504 of the second strip-shaped sub-electrode 350 and the auxiliary design line 333 of the third connecting section 330 is the third design reference point 3508 of the second strip-shaped sub-electrode 350. The intersection point of the second auxiliary design line 3505 of the second strip-shaped sub-electrode 350 and the auxiliary design line 333 of the third connecting section 330 is the fourth design reference point 3509 of the second strip-shaped sub-electrode 350. The distance between the third design reference point 3508 and the fourth design reference point 3509 of the second strip-shaped sub-electrode 350 is the second design reference size of the second strip-shaped sub-electrode 350.

In some implementation, in FIG. 6 , FIG. 7 and FIG. 13 , in two adjacent second strip-shaped sub-electrodes 350, the inclination angle of the second strip-shaped sub-electrode 350 close to the second end 3102 of the first connecting section 310 is greater than the inclination angle of the other second strip-shaped sub-electrode 350 close to the first end 3101 of the first connecting section 310. In this way, the second strip-shaped sub-electrodes 350 are divergently disposed in the direction going away from the first connecting section 310, so that the distance between the second strip-shaped sub-electrodes 350 gradually increases in the direction going away from the first connecting section 310.

For example, in the direction from the first end 3101 to the second end 3102 of the first connecting section 310, the second strip-shaped sub-electrodes 350 are sequentially numbered from the serial number 1. FIG. 13 shows the axial lines 3501 of three adjacent second strip-shaped sub-electrodes 350. The dashed line 3501(i+1)′ and the dashed line 3501(i+1)″ are parallel to the axial line 3501(i+1). Referring to FIG. 13 , the axial line 3501(i) is the axial line of the second strip-shaped sub-electrode 350 numbered i, the axial line 3501(i+1) is the axial line of the second strip-shaped sub-electrode 350 numbered i+1, and the axial line 3501(i+2) is the axial line of the second strip-shaped sub-electrode 350 numbered i+2.

Optionally, referring to FIG. 6 and FIG. 7 , along the extending direction of the second strip-shaped sub-electrode 350, the width of the second strip-shaped sub-electrode 350 may not change. In other words, the first auxiliary design line 3504, the second auxiliary design line 3505, and the axial line 3501 of the second strip-shaped sub-electrode 350 are parallel to each other. In this way, the design and preparation of the second strip-shaped sub-electrode 350 can be facilitated.

In the present disclosure, in two adjacent second strip-shaped sub-electrodes 350, the difference value between the inclination angle of the second strip-shaped sub-electrode 350 close to the second end 3102 of the first connecting section 310 and the inclination angle of the second strip-shaped sub-electrode 350 close to the first end 3101 of the first connecting section 310 is the gradual angle between the two adjacent second strip-shaped sub-electrodes 350. Optionally, in one slit electrode 300, the value of the gradual angle between two adjacent second strip-shaped sub-electrodes 350 ranges from 1° to 3°. In other words, in the two adjacent second strip-shaped sub-electrodes 350, the inclination angle of the second strip-shaped sub-electrode 350 close to the second end 3102 is greater than the inclination angle of the other second strip-shaped sub-electrode 350 close to the first end 3101 by 1° to 3°. Further, in two adjacent second strip-shaped sub-electrodes 350, the inclination angle of the second strip-shaped sub-electrode 350 close to the second end is greater than the inclination angle of the other second strip-shaped sub-electrode 350 close to the first end by 1.5° to 2.5°.

Optionally, the gradual angle between any two adjacent second strip-shaped sub-electrodes 350 may be the same. Exemplarily, referring to FIG. 13 , in three adjacent second strip-shaped sub-electrodes 350, the gradual angle between the second strip-shaped sub-electrode 350 numbered i+2 and the second strip-shaped sub-electrode 350 numbered i+1 is a, and the gradual angle between the second strip-shaped sub-electrode 350 numbered i+1 and the second strip-shaped sub-electrode 350 numbered i is a. In an implementation of the present disclosure, the gradual angle between any two adjacent second strip-shaped sub-electrodes 350 is 2°. In another implementation of the present disclosure, the gradual angle between any two adjacent second strip-shaped sub-electrodes 350 is 1°.

Optionally, in an implementation, in one slit electrode 300, referring to FIG. 6 , the distance between the first design reference points 3506 of any two adjacent second strip-shaped sub-electrodes 350 is equal. Further, the distance between the second design reference points 3507 of any two adjacent second strip-shaped sub-electrodes 350 is equal. On the auxiliary design line 313 of the first connecting section 310, the respective second strip-shaped sub-electrodes 350 are disposed at equal distance, which can simplify the design of the slit electrode 300 and the design and preparation of a mask. Not only that, it is also ensured that the distance between the second strip-shaped sub-electrodes 350 in the direction going away from the first connecting section 310 has a small difference in the speed of change, which is beneficial to improve the uniformity of light emission of pixels corresponding to the slit electrode 300.

Optionally, in another implementation, referring to FIG. 7 , in one slit electrode 300, in the plurality of second strip-shaped sub-electrodes 350 connected to the first connecting section 310, the first design reference points 3506 of the second strip-shaped sub-electrodes 350 are disposed at equal distance. In one slit electrode 300, in the plurality of second strip-shaped sub-electrodes 350 connected to the third connecting section 330, the distance between the first design reference points 3506 of two adjacent second strip-shaped sub-electrodes 350 decreases sequentially in the direction going away from the first end 3101 of the first connecting section 310. Furthermore, in one slit electrode 300, in the plurality of second strip-shaped sub-electrodes 350 connected to the third connecting section 330, the distance between the third design reference points 3508 of two adjacent second strip-shaped sub-electrodes 350 is equal. In this way, on the auxiliary design line 333 of the third connecting section 330, the respective second strip-shaped sub-electrodes 350 connected to the third connecting section 330 are disposed at equal distance, so that the design of the slit electrode 300 can further be simplified.

In some other implementations, referring to FIG. 9 to FIG. 11 , in the direction going away from the first connecting section 310, the width of the second strip-shaped sub-electrode 350 gradually decreases. The distance between two adjacent second strip-shaped sub-electrodes 350 in the direction parallel to the extending direction A of the first connecting section 310 gradually increases along the direction going away from the first connecting section 310.

Certainly, in other implementations, patterns of the first strip-shaped sub-electrodes 340 and patterns of the second strip-shaped sub-electrodes 350 may also be set independently.

Exemplarily, in an implementation of the present disclosure, the slit electrode 300 includes the first strip-shaped sub-electrodes 340 and the second strip-shaped sub-electrodes 350.

FIG. 14 shows the distribution of light transmittance of the display panel under different driving voltages when the gradual angle α between two adjacent first strip-shaped sub-electrodes 340 is 0°, 1°, 2°, and 3° respectively. Referring to FIG. 14 , compared with the solution in which respective first strip-shaped sub-electrodes 340 are disposed in parallel, when the value of the gradual angle α between two adjacent first strip-shaped sub-electrodes 340 is 1°, 2°, and 3° respectively, the corresponding start voltage decreases when liquid crystals of the display panel start to deflect.

The relationship between the light transmittance of the display panel and the driving voltage is as shown in curve II in FIG. 21 . FIG. 24 shows the lighting situation of the pixels corresponding to the slit electrode 300 in the liquid crystal display panel under a driving voltage of 4V. Referring to FIG. 24 , under the driving voltage of 4V, the open side of the slit electrode 300 is not lit up, which indicates that the slit electrode 300 can effectively reduce the intensity of the electric field between the open side and the data lead.

In summary, the present disclosure provides an array substrate. In the array substrate, the distance between the first strip-shaped sub-electrodes is larger on the side away from the first connecting section, such that the intensity of the electric field between the side of the slit electrode away from the first connecting section and the data lead is further reduced. Therefore, according to the present disclosure, the difference in the intensities of the electric fields between two sides of the slit electrode and the data leads increases by gradually changing the distance between the first strip-shaped sub-electrodes, thereby reducing or eliminating the disclination, and improving the light extraction efficiency of the display panel adopting the array substrate.

In some implementations, liquid crystal in the liquid crystal layer of the display panel 001 of the display apparatus may be negative liquid crystal, and the negative liquid crystal may be arranged in a direction perpendicular to the array substrate without drive of an electric field. In this way, in the display apparatus with the display panel, when no driving voltage is loaded on the array substrate, there is almost no phase difference of the liquid crystal, which does not change the polarization state of linearly polarized light penetrating through a first polarizer, so that the display panel has better performance in dark state and has higher contrast.
